There's no social framework to do anything other than treat an elderly person that breaks their hip, never mind a legal one. That's a cost that is incurred towards the end of life without any 'trying to prolong life' involved, a surgery to do the repair is frequently going to immediately make the person more comfortable. And there's all sorts of similar things that just happen more often to older folks.
